Outside of movies and alcohol, you don’t hear of much from Mexico in the way of products or brands. But a blonde lady artist in Mexico, Amparin Serrano, has built an impressive new doll brand, Distroller, by coming up with an ultra girly doll experience for little girls that is intended to make them even more nurturing and caring.

From the Los Angeles Times:

Nurse Tania, aka Danielle Hernandez, weighs and examines Susiking, one of the babies from the planet Neonatopia, at the Distroller World store in San Diego, as 4-year-old Sydney Stephens looks on.

For one thing, Mia is just 10 years old. For another, Mia’s baby resembled a pink lacrosse ball with a tiny body attached.

This wasn’t a real adoption. The fictional nurse was an employee of Distroller World, a boutique Mexican toy chain that is about to open its third U.S. store, in Glendale.

“There are no other toys like them,” Mia said of the 12 Distroller babies she has adopted. “At home, we made them a nursery, then I built a little school for them. We even make up voices for them.”

Distroller World is an elaborate example of experience-based retail — where shoppers get to do something rather than just buy something. It’s a style that merchants increasingly are trying out to recapture business lost to the internet.

At Distroller outlets, parents and children are swept up in the story of a planet called Neonatopia, whose 22 different types of babies need adopting.

Once the adoption paperwork is finalized with an employee dressed for the part of Nurse Tania, children follow the arrival of their babies via a “spaceship” that travels around the store via a pneumatic tube. …

The first Distroller World opened in Mexico City in 2004 and was the brainchild of artist and entrepreneur Amparo “Amparin” Serrano.

The idea for the babies came from Serrano’s desire to give her nieces something that would inspire them to be more caring and nurturing, Fillis said.

Here’s one of Serrano’s Virgin of Guadalupe pictures:

Maybe in the future Mexican entrepreneurs, being less weighed down by SJW wokeness at the office, will carve out a niche in the US market providing non-gender neutral toys that make normal boys and girls happy, each in their own traditional gender-specific ways. The marketing slogan could be: “Mexican toys: Not making little children cry on Christmas morning since 2018!”

“There are no other toys like them,” Mia said of the 12 Distroller babies she has adopted. “At home, we made them a nursery, then I built a little school for them. We even make up voices for them.”

It is simply not possible to mock up toy institutions and voices for dolls preceding the Destroller class. That’s not how dolls work. Real doll enthusiasts know how important it is to operate within the system.

The smoky back rooms have no problem with this in Mexico. They want Mexicans to reproduce. A lot.
But if this spreads in the USA, well. lawyers will get involved. And not to win any cases, just cause bankruptcy via legal fees and lawfare. Can’t be having white kids catch onto this.

This is similar to other “doll factory” shops which customize dolls for child customers and their parents.

It’s not all that new an idea. Originally, Gateway 2000′s retail operation was planned along such lines: each store would have cases, power supplies, motherboards, sound and video cards, sticks of RAM, hard and floppy drives, et al and the customer would order what he wanted and pick the system up in a few hours.

This is exactly what white box computer stores had been doing since pre-PC days, but economically very successfully after third party cleanroom “100 percent compatible” BIOS motherboards became available. Gateway was a white box vendor with a big advertising budget and cow spotted boxes, and fairly decent tech support.

Unfortunately, Ted Waitt, an idiot, decided that the stores would function as showrooms rather than “inefficient and labor intensive mini factories” and the customers, told that they could not take a computer home that day, stayed away in droves. Despite clear and persistent input that this was not what customers wanted, Gateway refused to change and the stores went out of business, followed by the sale of the brandname to Acer and the end of the company which three years earlier had employed 30,000 people.

I’ve often thought this would be a good model for custom “guy stuff”: tool boxes, guns, guitars, you name it. A store where you specify what you want and with custom CNC tooling they put it together and finish it as you like and you take it home that day.

The in-store experience when a girl brings her dolls back in for a checkup (and undoubtedly buys something else). Quite well executed business.

Of course, there are so many problematic areas. No black dolls. And when they adj black dolls, nobody will buy them. And they’ll be criticised for either having exaggerated black features, or else looking like dark skinned whites.

Outside of movies and alcohol, you don’t hear of much from Mexico in the way of products or brands.

The Mexican Bimbo bakeries own a lot of brands in the USA and worldwide but they have an unfortunate problem with their name in English speaking countries. They are the shirt sponsor for the Philadelphia Union in MLS.

I don’t know about you.
But, I live in San Diego and what I have observed is that a vast majority of the Blue Collar Work in San Diego is made up of Latinos.
In my opinion instead of Wining about Latinos, we should focus on making them a part of the American Society and make sure that Planned Parenthood, Feminism runs deep into their Society.
But, Border Control is very very important and LEGAL IMMIGRATION is the main reason Demographics are being changed.
There is need to drastically reduce the number of Legal Immigrants and that stupid Lottery System needs to go.

Saying it before someone else does: perhaps they could rebrand as Bimbx.

They need to add a line of scrawny, dried-out looking IVF babies from 45-year-old eggs. They can be priced at 10 times the regular dolls, and instead of Nurse Tanya, the transaction can be handled by creepy Dr. Franken, who disappears into another room with a copy of Playboy briefly.

Sure; she’s probably a criolla (or close to it), like most successful Mexicans. What, you think they all are indios or mestizos like the dullards mowing lawns, flipping hamburgers, and hanging sheet-rock in the F.U.S.A.?

Do keep up: They export their surplus helots to prevent revolts (among other things, but especially to prevent revolts). It’d be like if we could ship Negroes off to Canada anytime they were getting too uppity and restless.

You were a marketing guy of some sort, Steve, right? (though I thought maybe more on the numbers/stats side) Some really enterprising marketing guy at Distroller World Corporate offices ought to spend a short while on youtube figuring out how to market this very same stuff to 10 y/o boys. Nope, no need for a design team and engineers to work out where in China to do the injection molding.

One hour’s surfing on youtube should tell him that, for the boys, you just sell the same dolls, but with some duct tape, C or D Estes rocket motors, and igniters included.

A similar marketing scheme was used for the original Cabbage Patch Kids dolls. Creator Xavier Roberts sold them out of an old medical clinic in Cleveland, Georgia repurposed as Babyland General Hospital, which was presented as a birthing, nursery, and adoption center for premium Cabbage Patch Kids.

The dolls have a whole pro-life slant: there are many who are actually “fetuses” and even “cigotos”. They teach little girls to value life from conception. Not coincidentally, the popular devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe, mother of a Civilization of Love, is fomented through many products: backpacks, lunch boxes, watches, etc. the aesthetics are cool and colorful. They also have dolls that poke gentle fun at some classist stereotypes: the shopaholic doll who brags about her “Mayami apartment”. Accompanying texts are very funny. Little girls will cover their schoolbooks with the whimsical wrapping paper.

American men should really cease complaining about the ravages of feminism and start setting right their own houses. Too much whining, too little responsibility. Women will naturally respect a man willing to provide, protect and exercise loving authority.

ROTFLMAO.

Really, Heathkit would make money today if it were done right…but it would not make the kind of ROI that venture capital wants to see. It was always a company that made a steady but unspectacular profit and was based in Benton Harbor, Michigan, employing starter employees. It was a good place to start in electronics but not to wind up once you had experience.

Most of the market would be old duffers and not kids, but money is money.

Hmm, Space babies, Estes rocket motors? Let’s make them unisex and build them with water rocket packs. The you could have advertising showing boys and girls launching them to the cosmos! Perfect for your budding SJW mom.

Step 1 in our 12-step program will be to eliminate Family Court. If you don’t do step 1, there cannot be any loving authority. I’m sure you’re right that Mexico has not got the feminist infection as bad as America does.

Huh. It’s like Mexico is this actual country with factories and kids’ toys and architects and surgeons and everything.

I hear tell there’s a lot of actual countries out there and the rest of the planet isn’t this awful prison where mean Americans keep everybody else locked up.

There’s really no justification for immigration at this point other than electoral politics and cultural warfare. The few remaining places incapable of self-governance just need to have their leaders deposed and some consortium of serious countries can run them instead.

Californex, along with Carolina, Vermonty and the Isle of Miami are state names in the future-English argot from the unsurpassable Onion video of news from the year 2137, http://hooktube.com/watch?v=iKC21wDarBo . The “future news” report was done with a great ear for the slow normalized deterioration of syntax, semantics and orthography that parallels the disintegration of social structures. A work of geniux.

What do you want to bet that that precinct is the residence for most of the high-school football coaches working in Southern California. They seem to be the only people who really GET percentages, least from what I’ve been yelled at with:

“Come on! I don’t want to see you working at 100% out there, ya bunch of girls! I want 110%! We need to up our game, guys! By end of practice week, I want all of you giving 135%! Then, two weeks from now when we play the Catholic school, we can work at a de-rated 105%.” “But coach, I was led to believe there would be no math.” “No more of that, boy, now get down on the floor and give me 10 – that’s both your hands!”

I was just thinking about how different and unwoke Mexican, (other Latin countries etc) seems to be from American TV.

There are plenty of theories one could come up with to explain it. Maybe, the really insane stuff requires a certain IQ threshold. But part of it could be the language – Spanish is a clearly gendered language, with no neutral gender and where even the adjectives describe genders.

The second generation are mainly baby mamas, low IQ ‘college’ ‘graduates’ with massive entitlement mentality, or cholos/cholas. Or haven’t you examined the statistics / paid attention to iSteve?

The GOP tried your strategy for 40 years with Kemp and the Bush family. But you pipe up as if your idea were original. Goes to show that Kempists will never learn and must only be shunned. Go away from here, go to a Ben Shapiro event. Don’t return.

That’s where dad – should – come in. This civil society thing is learned, by example and by instruction (with consequences attached for failure to get with the program). The id and the ego take care of themselves, the superego, not so much. That last is inculcated, and men who understand boundaries, dignity, and personal responsibility to others have a role to play in that work. Narcissistic girlie men whining for a safe space have nothing to offer here, and unfortunately, in our massively feminized culture they are far too prevalent.

Mexican authorities have been working hard since the 1960s to cut birthrates and provide cheap, reliable birth control across the nation. They’ve de-fanged the Church and brought modern fertility control to rural and conservative and indigenous communities everywhere.

Fertility rates dropped to replacement level 2.1 around 2000. And they’ve fallen a bit more since then.

It’s the US government that wanted Mexicans to reproduce and provide a permanent incoming tide of low wage serfs; Mexicans know that prosperity requires an end to population growth.

Hey, that’s just like a service center at a Mercedes-Benz stealership. Walk in for their $500 oil change, and walk out spending $2000 because your baby needs it.

Yes, it is “quite well executed business.”

Maybe we should ask some of our genius MBA graduates: “Where did the idea of paying a premium to be free of cares go?” Now it means paying a premium so that you can continue to pay a premium for as long as you own the product.

I was chatting with a Mexican PhD student a couple months ago who was getting his degree in California. He said that when he first came to the US, he automatically disliked Donald Trump over his comments about Mexicans, but after a year of enduring the social-justice lunatics on campus (and listening to their elders in the mainstream Democratic party), he admitted that he finally understands why Americans voted for the man.

But yes, as far as Mexican brands go, very few are familiar to most Americans (unless they are Mexican). Most of the biggest Mexican companies sell mainly to their domestic consumer market, peddling food & beverages & other retail goods, phone service, banking services, etc. and export very little under their own name.

I was given a book recently on what its authors consider the finest automobile of all time, the Mercedes Benz W123 chassis. In many ways it is, being one of the last German cars designed before the old guard trained by Neubauers and Uhlenhauts retired out and the new hip Gemütlichkeit types replaced them.

In many other ways it’s a piece of shit.

The HVAC is a nightmare, using Chrysler parts. The wiring used an insulation made of corn products, which would be fine but for its tastiness to rodents. And rust…unlike a frame based or conventional unibody car the design is almost impossible to economically repair once rot has set in, which it always does. While the diesels and the base petrol engine are fine, the DOHC six is a nightmare that needs to have the head pulled off to replace a small, cheap connecting water hose, and while the K-Jet fuel injection works well, the ignition and alternators are shitboxes too.

The new Benzes..and BMWs.. and VW/Audi/Porsches……..electronic nightmares. For all the beautiful WWII radars and the Neumann microphones and Klangfilm audio stuff the Germans made, they sure as hell can not do modern ruggedized electronics at all.

Has anyone else noticed that Mexican mothers (the English speaking ones) call their daughters “mama”? Sometimes they call their sons daddy or poppy. For example a daughter will ask her mother for a doll and the mother says “OK mama put it in the cart”. I wonder what the psychology is behind this? It sounds like they are saying their children have power over them.

Steve doesn’t hate Mexicans, and he never said or implied that he did. I don’t hate them either. At all. I’d be all for greatly increasing student exchange programs, tourism, and trade between us and many countries in the world — with everyone returning home after their studies, vacation, or temporary work here.

We just don’t want our country, meaning land, culture, language, and sovereign power, given over to them.

Overall you’re right. But I’d wager that there are several tens of millions of white and Asian Americans — all over California and Texas and now Chicago — who see Mexican brands of food and drink regularly in grocery stores, because we live in areas inundated with Mexicans and their offspring.

I notice a lot of the Hispanic women who use these handouts have their hair and nails done and wear new sexy looking clothes and shoes. When you have all your essentials paid for by the government you can afford to pamper yourself. I have seen people (usually older white people) complain about this in lines at stores.

I have mixed feelings on this. I am strongly against welfare programs (for all races), especially long term. Yet I like seeing women all dolled up and sexy looking. I like the lack of female modesty in Hispanic culture, it’s the polar opposite of Islam in many ways.

It’s an endearment within a certain social class. Motherhood is well-respected, so humbler Mexicans will call their daughter “mama” as an endearment, and also call “madre” a much older women they don’t know well. Just like an American might call her husband or grown son “baby”.

The IRS has issued instructions regarding Bitcoins. I’m having Coinbase immediately turn all Bitcoins I receive into U.S. dollars and deposit them in my bank account. At the end of the year, Coinbase will presumably send me a 1099 form for filing my taxes.

Payments are not tax deductible.

Below are links to two Coinbase pages of mine. This first is if you want to enter a U.S. dollar-denominated amount to pay me.

Fifth: if you have a Wells Fargo bank account, you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Wells Fargo SurePay. Just tell WF SurePay to send the money to my ancient AOL email address steveslrAT aol.com — replace the AT with the usual @). (Non-tax deductible.) There is no 2.9% fee like with PayPal or Google Wallet, so this is good for large contributions.

Sixth: if you have a Chase bank account (or even other bank accounts), you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Chase QuickPay (FAQ). Just tell Chase QuickPay to send the money to my ancient AOL email address (steveslrATaol.com — replace the AT with the usual @). If Chase asks for the name on my account, it’s StevenSailer with an n at the end of Steven. (Non-tax deductible.) There is no 2.9% fee like with PayPal or Google Wallet, so this is good for large contributions.

Here’s the Google Wallet FAQ. From it: “You will need to have (or sign up for) Google Wallet to send or receive money. If you have ever purchased anything on Google Play, then you most likely already have a Google Wallet. If you do not yet have a Google Wallet, don’t worry, the process is simple: go to wallet.google.com and follow the steps.” You probably already have a Google ID and password, which Google Wallet uses, so signing up Wallet is pretty painless.

You can put money into your Google Wallet Balance from your bank account and send it with no service fee.

Google Wallet works from both a website and a smartphoneapp (Android and iPhone — the Google Wallet app is currently available only in the U.S., but the Google Wallet website can be used in 160 countries).

Or, once you sign up with Google Wallet, you can simply send money via credit card, bank transfer, or Wallet Balance as an attachment from Google’s free Gmail email service. Here’s how to do it.
